Adjustments for household size reflect the fact that a household’s needs increase as the number of members increase, although not necessarily by the same proportion per additional member. For the census, this adjustment is calculated by dividing the household income by the square root of the household size and assigning this income to each person in the household. Used to determine whether a household is in low income based on the low income measure after-tax (LIM-AT). |
Admission category | Refers to the name of the immigration program or group of programs under which an immigrant has been granted for the first time the right to live in Canada permanently by immigration authorities.

For a child who has not yet learned to speak, this is the language spoken most often to the child at home. |
Lone parent | Refers to mothers or fathers, with no married spouse or common-law partner present, living in a dwelling with one or more children. |
Low income measure
after-tax (LIM- AT) |
Refers to a dollar threshold that defines low income as half of the median adjusted after- tax income of Canadian households, where “adjusted” indicates that the number of people in a household is taken into account.

Persons who used more than one mode of transportation were asked to identify the single mode they used for most of the travel distance. The question does not measure multiple modes of transportation, nor does it measure the seasonal variation in mode of transportation or trips made for purposes other than the commute from home to work. |
Mother tongue | Refers to the first language learned at home in childhood and still understood by the person at the time the data was collected. If the person no longer understands the first language learned, the mother tongue is the second language learned. For a person who learned two languages at the same time in early childhood, the mother tongue is the language this person spoke most often at home before starting school. The person has two mother tongues only if the two languages were used equally often and are still understood by the person. For a child who has not yet learned to speak, the mother tongue is the language spoken most often to this child at home. The child has two mother tongues only if both languages are spoken equally often so that the child learns both languages at the same time. |
